And these are just the boys tourneys we could locate in the local media. We haven't even scratched the surface, we know, and we do intend to get to the girls games at some point this year, just not now. Obviously this is way too much basketball to keep track for one person to keep track of, so if any of you out there have any results or scores you want to e-mail, let us kno. Anyway, here's a bund of results from a few of these tourneys. Maybe there's a game here or there which is of interest to you.
